It started in 2008 when the founder of La Becaria, Carlos Andrino, did an internship at Bodegas Tierra. He did everything that is part of working at a winery; from working in the fields to the processing of the grapes. The owner of the winery always jokingly called him “la becaria”; the girl-intern (instead of the masculine form “el becario”). After a small mishap (that actually led to the production shutting down for a day), the owner made Carlos a crooked little scrap figure by hand that represented him, and this is something Carlos carries with him today. 

It’s from those honest mistakes in life you learn from and the people you meet along the way that truly matters. The life experience, the stories and the emotional bond with the producers is what created La Becaria Wines.
